Black WNBA player clotheslines Sophie Cunningham on a lay up attempt. Gets ejected. Tweets “White privilege” from locker room to argue she was ejected because of racism. Identity politics destroys everything, even sports.
WNBA player DiJonai Carrington blames “white privilege” after being ejected for a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham.
Carrington was given a Flagrant 2 foul and was immediately ejected.
She then apparently rushed to the locker room so she could blame “white privilege.”
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

Breaking News: A day before the World Cup final, FIFA executives were given an ultimatum to approve a controversial privatization project. https://t.co/aY9f2J719z
En el giro más loco posible de los acontecimientos, resulta que Infantino TAMBIÉN estaba detrás de la Superliga, a la que incluso quería llamar FIFA Superliga. No sorprende entonces que la UEFA lo odie tanto.
NEW: European Leagues organisation criticises proposal to expand the World Cup to 64 teams, and welcomes collapse of "dangerous" sell off plan.
The FIFA President's decision to abandon his ill-conceived FFE proposal that would have sold stakes in FIFA's commercial and event-related activities, is the only logical outcome, as seen by reactions from across football. However, the overwhelming rejection of this dangerous idea, and the opaque process behind it, raises serious questions about FIFA's governance, internal culture and decision-making.
In this sense, we must not ignore that on Thursday 30th July, amidst the furore over FFE, FIFA shared a "research brief" with its NA’s in the hope of advancing plans to expand the 2030 men’s World Cup to 64 teams. As with the aborted FFE project, this new proposal involves an impractically short assessment timeline (just four weeks) and zero consultation with the leagues, clubs and players whose planning and livelihoods would be most affected.
Let us be clear: FIFA must not be allowed to continue taking unilaterally disruptive decisions that fly in the face of the leagues, clubs, players and fans whose sustained efforts and investment drive the value of international football competitions. Now more than ever, FIFA requires governance reform that ensures that all relevant stakeholders have a formal role in decisions that shape the future of our game.
All these recent events underscore the systemic issues that led European Leagues to lodge a formal complaint in October 2024 with the European Commission regarding FIFA’s conflict of interest as both regulator and commercial operator.
In the past two years we have had many productive meetings with the Commission and remain convinced that it will take the necessary action to protect fair competition and ensure compliance with the principles already set out by the Court of Justice of the EU. Until there is reform, including legally binding engagement with all relevant football stakeholders, the European Leagues’ will reject the expansion or creation of FIFA competitions.
